CLIC Sargent Fundraising Manager Emma Taylor said: “We are delighted that Colin is attempting to break a world record all to support CLIC Sargent. It’s an exceptional challenge and we are looking forward to spurring him on to reach his target!

"Every day, 11 children and young people hear that they have cancer; which is why Colin’s 1,000,001 challenge will play a vital role in allowing us to continue supporting them and their families.”
